Optical spectroscopy represents one of the most important diagnostic tools in physics. The capability of non-interfering measurements, together with the vast range of detection schemes, allows applications in a variety of experiments. Notably, the ongoing development in semiconductor technologies and micro–fabrication pushes the experimental limits, offering better and faster detectors, such as new types of imaging arrays (e.g., intensified or electron-multiplied charge-coupling detectors), or light sources like Sb–based multi-quantum well lasers. This allows achieving broader spectral coverages or faster acquisition times by keeping or even increasing the signal-to-noise ratio.
